Tesla last opened the biggest fast charging site in Australia, a 20-stall Supercharger facility in the city of Goulburn in NSW, making trips in an EV between Sydney and Canberra a whole lot easier.

Now, plans for an even larger site has been spotted by Charles G, an avid reader of The Driven and a Tesla Supercharger enthusiast.

Site plans of this upcoming site show that it will be located in the town of Mackay in Queensland, with more than 25 stalls.

These are likely to be V4 supercharger stalls capable of up to 250 kW of peak charging power per bay.Ā

As mentioned above, Tesla’s current largest site is in Goulburn, NSW, and at the time of its opening, Tesla’s country director for Australia and New Zealand, Thom Drew said that it’s also the largest site in the southern hemisphere and is open to all CCS2 compatible vehicles.

Over the last 12 months, Tesla has continued to increase the number of sites it operates across the country, adding nearly 20 sites since August 2025.

Many of these sites were opened in Q4, ahead of the Christmas and New Years holiday period which significantly reduced congestion over the summer periods.

As of March 2026, in Australia, Tesla is now operating 148 active sites, according to the latest data from carloop.

Over 80 sites, which make up nearly two-thirds of all Tesla sites in Australia, are open to non-Tesla EVs, allowing all drivers with compatible cars to charge at the country’s most reliable charging network.

Ā Over the years, we have seen the size of the larger sites grow. In December 2023, Tesla opened what was then deemed the biggest fast-charging site in Australia in the town of Albury. That side had 16 V4 supercharger stalls.

Ā In 2025, as highlighted above, the number of stalls was ramped up to 20 in Goulburn. It’s also worth noting that both of these Tesla sites have been co-funded by the NSW government as part of the state’s Fast Charging Grants Scheme.

With the rising number of EVs making it onto the roads every month, major thoroughfares will see bigger sites in the coming years, including the one spotted by Charles G in Mackay.

It’s great to see Tesla leading the charge with building bigger sites, as it should also encourage other operators to build bigger and better charging hubs across the country, helping more ICE drivers feel confident in making the switch to cleaner EVs.
